Rhiannon Garth-Jones explores Rome's enduring legacy through three core themes: religion, empire, and culture. Each chapter examines how Rome's history, governance, and mythology have been reimagined throughout centuries, and how these interpretations continue to shape our modern world. Rome is not merely a city-it's an enduring idea, a symbol of identity, power, and legitimacy that has shaped the course of history for over 1,500 years. This book embarks on an exploration of how the concept of Rome has been invoked by emperors, modern governments, religious leaders, and even pop culture icons, all using it to assert authority and influence society. Each chapter explores how Rome's history, governance, and mythology have been reimagined throughout centuries, and how these interpretations continue to shape our modern world.
